Take a look back at the Duggar daughter marriages! In two super-sized
weddings, Jill and Jenna (it was Jessa but TLC seemed to forget) walked down the aisle just months apart, Jill
with Derick and Jenna with Ben. Relive each ceremony and first kiss!

60 minutes

The desperation reeks on this one. TLC is so uncaring that they said Jenna instead of Jessa.

Jinger and Jeremy celebrate their engagement in NYC. Meanwhile, Jill
and Derick wrap up their mission work in Central America and are greeted
with a big surprise party in Arkansas, but in the end, Jessa and Ben
have an even bigger surprise of their own.

Jinger,
Michelle, Jessa, Ben and Spurgeon are all in the northeast meeting some
of Jeremy's family & friends and visiting his old stomping grounds.
Little does Jinger know, Jeremy has an important question he plans to
ask before the trip is over!

Jinger, Jeremy, and chaperones go on a whirlwind trip to see his family
and friends. Will delayed flights ruin a big surprise Jeremy has
planned? And we take a look back at past Duggar courtships and hear the
guys' tips for a successful relationship.

Ben hosts a youth football camp with a group of former NFL players.
Meanwhile, Jana hatches a plan to redecorate the guesthouse Jill and
Derick will be staying in when they return from Central America. And
Jinger and Jeremy plan a special trip to NYC.

Jeremy makes a secret trip to Arkansas, but before surprising Jinger, he
and Ben do some browsing for engagement rings. Then, Jessa and Ben give
their rapper friend, Flame, a taste of Duggar family life.

Wilderness training continues for the Duggar siblings following a frightening encounter with a nocturnal visitor. Meanwhile, Jill and Derick celebrate their second anniversary; and Jessa and Ben are amazed by how fast Spurgeon is growing

Jeremy has his first meal with the family, and Jinger taps Jill and
Derick for courtship advice. Meanwhile, Ben and Jessa talk about his
plan for youth outreach; and the older Duggar siblings take wilderness
survival training.

As noted in the general thread Jessa announced the already obvious pregnancy via People this morning. I thought she was going to announce she was four to five months pregnant, but apparently more like three. I fear another very large infant. I know people show earlier with a second pregnancy but she's pretty large for 3 months.

On the season premiere of Counting On, Jessa and Ben discuss future
additions to their growing family as Jill and Derick face hardships
while continuing mission work in Central America. Jinger gets ready to
take a big step with a special someone!

to the mission field in Central America.

62 minutes

and Israel. As they prepare for the trip, they travel down memory lane,
revisiting Jessa's milestone moments, from engagement to motherhood,
that have led to this emotional reunion.

hinders their efforts. Later, Ben and Jessa travel to St. Louis to

According to the article that seems to only quote older material, the show is returning. There have been sightings of the Duggars filming two new episodes, but so far nothing official from TLC that I've found.
